Simon Barnes' verdict

There was a young mover and shaker
who knew nothing of ‘acre by acre’
but when left on the shelf
she re-cycled herself,
now she’s saving the world for her Maker.

Peter’s prize is a signed copy of Simon’s Birdwatching with your Eyes Closed.

Vote for the overall winner

So, please vote for your favourite limerick. The closing date for voting is Monday 6 May at noon (BST). To vote all you have to do is either comment on this page or comment on World Land Trust’s Facebook page and we shall do the rest.

The prize for the overall winner will be a framed, illustrated copy of the winning limerick. The winner will also have the chance to meet Bill Oddie to receive the prize personally, either in Halesworth (Suffolk) or London, at a time and place convenient to the winner and Bill.

We shall publish other limericks commended by the judges when we announce the overall winner.
